Are You Ready For A ReSet?

ABOUT RESET

The ReSet program is delivered in two ways: for individuals in a group setting and for organizational teams. The focus of ReSet is to reduce ageism, help older adults redesign their future while also increasing their entrepreneurial mindset and to facilitate better multigenerational teams. The Top Sixty Over Sixty’s definition of entrepreneurship encompasses intrapreneurship, social entrepreneurship, green entrepreneurship and digital entrepreneurship. Whether entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial, having a strong sense of self-agency is critical to effectively achieving objectives.

The efficacy of the ReSet program was evaluated in partnership with Ryerson University, the Ontario Centre for Workforce Innovation and the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development. The research verifies that the program is effective at both reducing ageism, inspiring positive planning for the future and increasing the entrepreneurial mindset.

Both the corporate and individual program include three modules and can include on site meetups. A modified program, however, can be offered in specified modules according to needs.

How it Works

Module One - Understanding Yourself and Others: This module uses Emergenetics, a well-established, reliable and valid psychometric tool to generate individual profiles Participants complete the survey online and then attend a full-day interactive session where they learn the results of the profile and the benefits of working with a diverse groups of people. The Emergenetics profile emphasizes individual talents and strengths, which can then be used as team building tools. Participants explore how their personal thinking and behavioural preferences guide conduct and provide insight into the thinking styles and behavioural preferences of others.

Module Two - Ageism, Shifting Paradigms and Optimism: Module Two introduces concepts related to ageism, the impact of changing demographics on ageist attitudes and the power of paradigms in informing how and what we “see”. It also focuses on aligning values with lifestyle. The value of optimistic mindset and other “on purpose” traits, such as gratitude, are identified and discussed.

Module Three - Vision, Persuasion and Problem Solving: Module Three explores the importance of personal and professional vision and brand development. Design thinking methodology is introduced as an effective means to resolve both “wicked” and simple problems and challenges.
